“One of the similar environments with ISS was in the UCSD campus wasolated during the Covade 19 pandemic diseases. Banetz said that all levels were constantly sterilized, so that the microbial signatures would be removed when the other person was shown. Make it easier to make so much germs.
“The widespread use of disinfection chemicals cannot be the best approach to maintaining a healthy microbial environment, though, definitely can definitely be done,” said Bennetts.

He advised that introducing microbes that are beneficial to human health may be better than a constant struggle to eradicate all microbial life at the station. And when some modules need to be sterilized, keeping some beneficial microbes alive by designing future spacecraft can be achieved, which shows how microbes spread.
“We have found that germs in very few human activity modules are spreading without these modules. When human activity is high in the module, then germs spread to adjoining modules. He said that the spacecraft can be designed to module with high human activity on one end and there are no modules with any kind of human activity at the opposite end, so busy modules do not pollute those that need to be sterile. “We are definitely talking as a MIC micro -biologist and chemist – perhaps the spacecraft engineers have more important reasons for imposing some modules in certain locations,” said Zhao. “These are just early ideas.”
But what about staff’s deep space missions in Mars and other places in the solar system? Should we carefully design the microbial structure, should wear germs on the spacecraft and hope that this artificial, closed ecosystem will work for years without any interference with the earth?
“I will take a more comprehensive environmental system approach,” said Banetz, he thinks in the future that we can build spacecraft and space stations hosting all gardens that need to be integrated with plants, jirgas and animals to create a balanced, self -maintaining environmental system. It is, but also about all the lifelits we need to send with them. “
